Loneliness in Counseling: Paul’s Example of Gospel Companionship

Knowing Christ fosters a likeness to him that unites Paul with the body of believers. In a life filled with loneliness and hardship, Paul is comforted by Christ himself through constant companionship with his people—always surrounded by partners in ministry, commending others, delighting in them, and longing to be with them. Counseling can often feel like a solitary endeavor. This session will consider practical implications for what it means to be bound to the body of Christ as a counselor and also for those we counsel.
